Venture 11 days deep into the Yukon wilderness on the legendary Dän Zhùr Route — a fully guided backpacking expedition across alpine ridges, glacial valleys, and to the mighty edge of the Donjek Glacier in Kluane National Park. Remote, raw, and unforgettable.
Eleven days. One of Canada’s wildest adventures. Venture deep into Kluane National Park on the legendary Dän Zhùr Route — a fully guided expedition across alpine passes, glacial valleys, and to the edge of the mighty Donjek Glacier, one of the most awe-inspiring glaciers in the Yukon.
Guided by ACMG-certified experts, this 11-day journey blends challenge, discovery, and raw wilderness immersion. It’s not just a trek — it’s a true backcountry expedition through one of the most rugged landscapes in North America.
The Donjek Glacier is the heart of this adventure — a massive river of ice flowing 56 kilometers from the Icefield Ranges of the St. Elias Mountains. You’ll hike to its edge, listen to the thunder of calving ice, and stand before a wall of blue ice that defines the scale and power of Kluane’s wilderness.
Each day brings new challenges and rewards as you traverse wild valleys, cross glacial streams, and camp under endless northern skies. Along the way, your guides will share their knowledge of navigation, geology, and the fragile ecosystems that make this UNESCO-listed region so unique.
This is a demanding expedition — remote, spectacular, and deeply rewarding. For those ready to push beyond the ordinary, the Dän Zhùr Route delivers an experience few ever witness: the Yukon at its rawest and most magnificent.
